Summary
Elon Musk warned federal employees against leaking information, stating, “if in doubt, they are out,” as he helps Trump implement sweeping government changes.
A Reddit post alleged Musk’s team is using “fingerprinting” tactics to track leakers. Musk, who spent heavily on Trump’s re-election, now leads the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which has controversially seized control of federal payment and personnel systems.
The administration is also encouraging civil servants to resign, prompting lawsuits.
Whistleblower protections may challenge Musk’s crackdown on leaks.
You know what would really bring the conservative movement to its knees? Saying Trump is an agent of the Russian government. Then make a big picture of him and Putin kissing.
Absolutely guaranteed to work. There’s nothing America can’t fix by doubling down on Red Scare.
He may just be a useful idiot, but he’s doing exactly what Putin wants.
